Some Saturday Afternoon Thoughts…

We continue to monitor Sunday’s severe weather outbreak very closely.  Simply put, the latest data suggests all of central Indiana will be under the gun for a potentially dangerous and life threatening severe weather event Sunday.  The bullet points highlighted in our previous post haven’t changed, but we note tornado parameters may be even more impressive per latest data.  Unfortunately, I’m afraid multiple tornado touchdowns will be reported across central Indiana tomorrow afternoon, followed by a more widespread damaging straight line wind event mid to late evening.  Certainly please keep abreast of the latest watches and warnings that will come tomorrow.

Showers and thunderstorms will develop tonight, but will remain below severe levels.  The latest NAM simulated radar shows the developing showers and thunderstorms tonight.

Fast forward to Sunday evening and we note a line  of severe thunderstorms moving through central Indiana, including a potential widespread damaging wind event.

Also, just to let you know, we’re also monitoring next weekend for another possible big weather event.  This time we’re not talking severe weather, but possibly a major early season arctic attack…  The latest European model isn’t holding back.  Could a cold Thanksgiving week be shaping up?  We’ll monitor closely.

Friday Forecast: Cold Start To The Day!

Updated 11.07.13 @ 10:47p

Zionsville, IN Strong northwest winds are howling in the open country this evening and creating downright cold conditions out. Temperatures in the lower 30s are combining with a northwest wind gusting to 20 MPH to create wind chills in the lower to middle 20s tonight.  Certainly bundle up if plans take you out tonight!

Status-weather-clouds-iconFriday: Partly cloudy; 28/ 50

A reinforcing shot of chilly air blew into the state Thursday night and is leading to another cold start to the day.  Look for a sun-filled Friday to help boost temperatures into the upper 40s to lower 50s this afternoon.

 

Status-weather-clouds-iconSaturday: Partly cloudy; 38/ 56

Low pressure will race through the northern Great Lakes region Saturday afternoon. This will help drag a dry front through the region Saturday night, but the majority of Saturday we’ll enjoy milder, southwesterly winds.  Saturday can be expected the pick of the 7-day outlook with dry skies and mild temperatures.  We’ll note a gusty southwest breeze during the afternoon, especially in the open country.

Status-weather-clouds-iconSunday: Partly cloudy; 35/ 50

We’ll enjoy another dry and sunny day Sunday though it’ll be several degrees cooler when compared to the first half of the weekend.  The reason?  A northerly flow behind the dry frontal boundary that’ll be drug through central Indiana Saturday evening.

 

Status-weather-clouds-iconMonday: Partly cloudy; 32/ 55

While dry conditions will be in place Monday, we’ll have our eyes pointed north bound as an early season arctic air mass gets ready to descend upon the Ohio Valley and Mid West…

 

Status-weather-snow-scattered-day-iconTuesday: AM light snow; PM scattered snow showers (dusting to 1″); 27/ 35

A strong cold front will plunge south and move through the Hoosier state Tuesday.  Behind the front, a huge arctic high will sink south out of Canada and help unseasonably cold air to settle over the area for mid week.  As the front moves through Tuesday morning, light rain will quickly mix with and change to light snow. Some light accumulations of snow can be expected.  Then, as we move into the afternoon, “system” generated snow will diminish and give way to scattered afternoon snow showers.  There is a chance portions of the state, particularly the northern snow belt, deals with some lake effect snow bands Tuesday.  Just how far south these snow bands make it will have to be fine tuned as we draw closer.  Stay tuned.

Status-weather-clear-iconWednesday: Mostly sunny; 21/ 37

We’ll keep a close eye on things, but latest data tonight suggests that strong area of high pressure overwhelms the region and results in unseasonably cold, but dry weather for the middle of next week.

 

Status-weather-clouds-icon  Thursday: Partly cloudy; 28/ 48

Moderating temperatures will ensue Thursday as we get back into a    southwesterly flow of air.  That said, temperatures will remain below average.
